About This Yacht

Designed by legend Bruce King and built by Ericson Yachts, the Ericson 381 strikes the perfect balance between spirited racer-cruiser performance and comfortable bluewater capability. Built with Ericson's signature Tri-Axial Grid system, this solid fiberglass hull offers outstanding structural integrity and a stiff, dry ride in heavy chop.

Whether you're planning extended offshore passages or weekend coastal escapes, the 381 delivers smooth tracking, responsive handling, and impressive speed on all points of sail.

Comfortable Live-Aboard Interior

Below decks, rich mahogany and teak joinery create a warm, inviting cabin with 6' 4" standing headroom throughout:

• Forward V-Berth: Private master cabin with hanging locker, vanity storage, and overhead hatch.

• Aft Quarter Berth: Double berth tucked starboard with dedicated storage.

• Galley: U-shaped layout featuring a double stainless steel sink, propane stove with oven, and a large refrigerated icebox.

• Salon: Opposing settees with a lowering drop leaf table, seating up to 6 comfortably.

• Nav Station: Full chart table with dedicated instrument panel and electrical controls.

Deck & Cockpit

Designed for easy short-handed sailing, the ergonomic T-shaped cockpit features a pedestal wheel with integrated compass, clear sightlines forward, and all halyards led aft to self-tailing winches. Wide side decks and robust double lifelines ensure safe footings offshore.
